The proper procedure for such an upgrade is as follows: 1) download and burn the relevant amd64 iso 2) update your backups 3) reformat and reinstall the OS from the CD 4) restore your data and system config from the backups 5) resume normal operation If the thought of reformatting your system is scary, because you don't have backups or aren't sure they are comprehensive or work, then solve that problem, rather than trying to invent workarounds to cover for bad system administration. It will serve you much better in the long run. -- Rob Farmer _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
